Virbhadra terms DA case against him as 'political vendetta'

Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh today termed as "political vendetta" the disproportionate assets case against him and his wife.

Moments after the 82-year-old politician was granted bail by a special court, Singh told mediapersons that it was going to be a long battle. "It's a political vendetta. It's a long battle and I will fight and win the case," the Chief Minister said.

The Congress leader and his wife Pratibha Singh were granted bail by a special court here in connection with a nearly Rs 10 crore disproportionate assets case on a personal bond of Rs one lakh each and one surety of the like amount. The court, however, asked them not to leave the country without its prior permission.
